Scott Burns’ column was simply too absurd to ignore. His recommendation of a book written by a sociologist proclaims “wealth addiction” is ruining our country.

Burns agrees that concentration of wealth is a problem. For whom, I have to ask?

Obama made a statement several years ago that “at some point you have made enough money.” Who determines how much is enough? How much is too much? Is there some cap on a retirement account? You get the point.

Goodness, we want those investors to stop building, hiring and spending. They have enough already.

Burns' article is typical of the kind of nonsense that legitimizes the “class warfare” rhetoric spewing out of Washington. Our economic system is based on equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. There will always be someone who is smarter, luckier, wealthier, prettier.

Class warfare seeks to find enemies among us who are not only guilty of success, but guilty of looking successful. Burns' article finds yet another reason to demonize the wealthy. Wealth is now an addiction. It must be cured.

This garbage is high octane socialism where there are no winners, only losers.
